just a quick q. somewhere, can't remember where but i heard that the more psi you add in a blower the higher compression you need. i've heard it both ways. just trying to clairify a couple things.

 

Its right the opposite. The more compression you have, the less boost you can handle. Boosted cars like LOW compression. Bottle fed cars like high compression.

 

yea that's what i tho't and i saw this and i was like... wait??

thanks

 

you can go as high as 10:1 compression with 14 PSI with forged internals. i have seen two GTs with that at the track, they both ran very similar times, and i know the one guy drives his on the street to and from work until the $3.49 for premium.


i have seen 22:1 compression and 90 PSI before, on a diesel, stock and wastegated.

 

Why would you add this? It will only confuse people, as a diesel works on totaly differant principal than a gas engine.

 

i know that. that comment was in direct relation to jdaniels comment.
"The more compression you have, the less boost you can handle."

 

ok... but if it is lower it'll run better then high right?
